but it would probably an an entertaining novel.
that's the whole thing, the US doesn't agree with that assessment.
you can't think of anything to unleash some agents on within the entire digital world at any given time?
you motivate your own personal work only via gauging its' usefulness to others and your own prospects?
sheesh.
built anything for the sake of building yet?
"less context is better and if you can't get stuff done with less yur bad" is the worst argument ever.
it might be pure luxury to your eyes, but it's great to not require the use of a special custom harness that transcribes everything into emoji and compresses everything into barcode images.
it's great to have a million token context to throw a large project into. If I need 100k just about any current gen consumer GPU in the world has very good models that I can self host for 100k context, limiting myself to 100k on someone elses machine seems to be missing a lot of the point unless the model itself is extraordinary.
It's a shame that the real-world-metaphor computer stuff fell out of favor. microsoft bob, etc. It's not that efficient but it's so well self-explained ; to see more art you walk around a museum; who'da thought.
for example if you ask any of these models (just about any image-gen) to produce Japanese ukiyo-e art they will almost always produce it with a hanko[0] that has been seen a lot in historical art pieces, usually having nothing to do with the era or style of the replica but seen so often in 'Japanese artwork' that it's just permanently tokenized into it as a defining characteristic.

the most important aspects of open source are the social and humanitarian collaboration, not the fact that you can tinker with the code.
'source code available' predates 'open-source', and it implies none of the social aspects or centralized code repositories & collaboration.
what use is hashing every piece of software that goes thru the distros package manager just to throw caution to the wind at the layer above it?
w.r.t. "it's already from the same domain" , well most bash/z install scripts either invoke a package manager or they download and untar a package that has nothing to do with the host domain, anyway.
oh my zsh is a specific example.
chsh requires sudo on most installs.
no, parent said that the list isn't a great idea, not the act of measurement.
"Big balls exposed" -- oh no! check your fly!
"big balls now exposed to" -- oh no! an environmental report that affects some men!
"big balls now exposed to serious criminal charges" -- oh no, I need to lawyer up!
"big balls now exposed to serious criminal charges in at least six states" -- "what? oh that fakey nickname for the dipshit that was in a fully fake semi-cabinet position for 20 seconds."
other comment pinned it : they're happy when that guy can take a fall. that's the whole point. chasing that guy to the bottom of the drain is useless.
that's a leap i'm unwilling to take.
in other words I wouldn't ban oranges because some of the farmers have been found to have been enslaved; instead i'd investigate and penalize the enslavement and crimes taking place.
Similarly : I wouldn't ban pornography on some false pretense that it's to save someone, because quite honestly if I began that boulder rolling it shouldn't stop , every industry victimizes someone; it's a question of stopping and penalizing abuses and preventing victimization, not about regulating broad industries ( a move that worsens human rights violations by moving them into a highly lucrative black market, into the shadows ) .
mastodon has failed to capture the audience numbers of the products it sought to compete against, you can say that without criticizing the product.
I find a lot about this story exceedingly hard to believe.
1) a community of niche players has banned dozens of people due to HWID conflicts between their existing playerbase and their banned players.
2) that a community of niche game players can conduct 100% thorough investigations to the point of satisfaction w.r.t.
3) the hardware aftermarket is so small that the same players from within that niche community are swapping components unknowingly.
it' be more plausible for me personally to think that a CPU vendor fucked up on the HWID generation scheme.
counterpoint : cinema designed to key in on adult nostalgia for the sake of safe and easy to acquire financial backing has ruined any quality output that Hollywood once had, and destroyed entirely the indie scene and the chance of acquiring money for any project that is outside the scope of the 600 Superman or Batman movies.
It is easier to make something decent with billions of dollars shoveled at you than it is to do so on a shoe-string budget, and if the environment has proven itself to be either mass-market appeal or decent quality cinema -- which has so far been shown to be the case -- then yeah, mass market appeal is a criteria worth criticism.
if "to scoff at" you mean "You must be impressed with the financial money making power of super hero movies." Then yeah, absolutely , I wish I could make that kind of money -- Super hero movies, however, have yet to impress me as cinema.
This happened before, by the way.
Hollywood kept shoveling money into super hero dreck until Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction made financiers realize that weirder indie shit could also make a buck, so we got things like boogie nights and grifters and the big lebowski getting funded after a long run of yearly Tim Burton hero movies.
As much as it pains me to say it, I hope some new neo tarentino pops up and makes a billion with something weird so we can get out of this lock-step
if so: do you think people would be happy with the performance , reliability, and gameplay already?
imo you're glossing over every important element of an MMO that creates its' success and being impressed with a very nice polished MVP.
It seems more like they're trying to determine that it is in fact a laptop and not something resembling one.
Things get more expensive with specific ADC needs/etc

Need a technical reason?
Why would anyone listen to Gates' technical opinions post-Windows?
Let's ask Ibrahim Traoré about what he has to offer with regards to warnings about social policies, let's bring in Javed Iqbal to talk about childcare.
Oh wait, they're not worth billions and they don't clean up well with a cardigan so it'll be harder to convince the audience that they're not predators.
that sounds like a broadening market to me.
if true then LLM related AI (post-post AI winter AI?) is probably one of the fastest inception-to-plateau tech sectors to have ever existed.
We're still improving transistors on a somewhat routine basis.
it's more impressive to me that the electric fans within the Stratus server still operate than it is that the chips still work, and if we're going with the plane metaphor it's the silicon that puts the thing into the air, not the simple fans.
So really it just boils down to "well, the planes work is harder." as to why it fails, which is of course abstract and unsatisfying; comparing the comparative lifetime workloads of a chip that has shifted trillions of bits versus some jet engines that have moved millions of kilograms around the world.
and then another layer comes and makes it even weirder : the vast majority of hardware around the world that has been EoLd and replaced has been in that situation due to software, not the hardware itself; a paradigm that really doesn't exist in the physical engineering world in the same was as it does CS.
